Did you know that horses perform up to several thousand small muscle movements per day just by constantly warding off insects? This persistent twitching, head-tossing, and skin shuddering consumes measurable energy and can lead to long-term tension in the neck and poll area. Reliable protection for the head area significantly reduces this constant defensive effort – and saves your horse energy that it can use for movement, regeneration, and performance instead.

Why is a nose protector useful?

The nostril area is a frequent target for insects and is correspondingly sensitive. Additional protection prevents stings and significantly reduces stress reactions such as head tossing or constant snorting.

Is the material durable?

Yes, the mesh fabric used is designed for daily use. It remains dimensionally stable and resistant, even if your horse moves a lot or rolls.

Can I wash the fly mask?

The "Kuba" fly mask can be easily cleaned in the washing machine at 30°C. It should then be air-dried to ensure the material and fit are maintained over the long term.

What sets the "Kuba" fly mask apart from other models?

This fly mask combines extended protection for the sensitive nose area with a high level of comfort and a well-thought-out fit. This ensures that heavily affected zones are reliably covered without restricting the horse.

Is the fly mask suitable for sensitive horses?

Yes, it has been designed to keep pressure and friction to a minimum. This makes it particularly suitable for horses with sensitive skin or increased sensitivity to insects.

Can a horse wear a fly mask permanently?

With the right size and a good fit, the fly mask can be worn for longer periods. It is important to check regularly that everything is sitting correctly and that no friction is occurring.

Does the fly mask impair vision?

No, the dimensionally stable material ensures sufficient distance from the eyes so that your horse retains a clear view and can move safely.

• Use only for the intended purpose as insect protection on the horse's head.
• Check for damage, loose seams, tears, or worn-out material before each use.
• Do not continue to use the fly mask if it is damaged or heavily worn.
• Check the fit regularly to avoid pressure points or chafing.
• Do not fit too tightly – sufficient freedom of movement must be ensured around the eyes, ears, and nostrils.
• Do not leave the horse unattended while wearing it, especially in the stall or at pasture if there is a risk of snagging.
• Do not make any unauthorized modifications or repairs to the product.
• Do not use in rain, wet conditions, or high humidity if the material is not suitable for such conditions.
• Clean only according to the care label – do not use chemical cleaning agents, bleach, or solvents.
• Allow to dry completely after cleaning before using or storing the fly mask again.
• Do not store or dry near open flames, heat sources, or chemical substances.
